Regular ferries go to Pulau Kapas from the port town of Marang which is situated 17kms south of Kuala Terengganu. Any northbound bus travelling towards KT will drop you off in the town if you let the driver know in advance. Then it’s just a two minute walk down the hill to the west towards the jetty. Alternatively there are local buses from Kuala Terengganu to Marang or a taxi direct to the port will cost around RM30.
There are a variety of companies which transfer passengers to the island which all have booths at the jetty. Typical prices are RRM15 per person each way or RM25 return. Just let your guesthouse know when you plan to come back and they will contact the appropriate company. For onwards travel, it’s best to take a taxi to Kuala Terengganu bus station and where there are departures to all over the country.
Pulau Kapas is a mere 10 minutes by speed boat or 30 minutes by slow boat from Marang jetty. Marang is about 20 minutes by road from Kuala Terengganu
